The Department of Fisheries at Khon Kaen University is carrying out a farming project with vannamei white shrimp that uses a low-saline water circulation system. The project is the collaboration between the department and Thai Union Feed Mill.
To be sustainable, shrimp farming systems need circulating water and a way to drain sewage and wastes in the pond. Waste from shrimp farming can be converted into fish feeds, while the circulated water can be treated in a closed system to reduce waste discharges in the environment.
Norway Royal Salmon (NRS) and SalMar have reached an agreement to merge the two companies, with SalMar as the acquiring company.
The parties have negotiated a proposal for an exchange ratio of 0.369 shares in SalMar per share in NRS. Based on SalMar’s volume, weighted average closing price on the Oslo Stock Exchange from 4 April to 20 May, this amounted to a value of NOK 265.18 per share in NRS

With plenty of horse mackerel from Fisterra to the south, where until a few days ago around 2% of the quotas available to Spain had been caught, the coastal fleet of northwestern Spain needs more quota in the northern fringe of Galicia, from Fisterra, and in the rest of the Bay of Biscay. That is why purse seiners and trawlers welcome an increase in the quota that for consumers will mean a greater supply of this fresh blue fish, just at the moment when demand increases, due to the arrival of the heat and, above all, because it is usually affordable and with endless elaborations in the kitchen.
